Isabel la Católica Square

As you may have guessed, this square is named after Isabella the Catholic, Queen of Castile and León, Aragon, Majorca, Valencia, Sardinia, Sicily, and Naples. Quite the résumé! It was she, and her husband Ferdinand II, who gradually conquered the Kingdom of Granada, finally taking the city in 1492, marking the end of Nasrid rule in Spain. At the centre of the square, you’ll see a statue of the queen with the famous Christopher Columbus, shown during the signing of the Capitulations of Santa Fe, the official agreement outlining the terms of his upcoming voyage. This is one of Granada’s most iconic squares!
